Buddy the German Shepherd walks himself to hospital after getting hit by car!!
A farmer who suffered serious head injuries after being struck by a falling tree branch was rescued by a partially blind kangaroo who is being hailed as a hero.
Lulu the kangaroo banged on the door of the family's home in Morwell, Gippsland in southeast Australia after discovering the farmer lying unconscious in a field.
According to Rural Ambulance Victoria paramedic Eddie Wright, the man had been checking his property for damage following a severe storm when he was struck by the branch.
Wright said that if Len Richards' family had not found him so quickly, he might have died.
"The kangaroo alerted them to where he was and went and sat down next to him, and that's how they found him," he said.
Richards was taken to an Austin hospital.
Richards' daughter Celeste said, "Lulu and Dad are very close and she follows him around, but we all just love her so much."
About ten years ago, the family found Lulu in the pouch of her mother who had been killed by a car. The authorities allowed them to care for Lulu and adopt her because she is missing one eye.
The Australian Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) has urged the family to nominate Lulu for its National Bravery Award.
"From my point of view, it's a darn good story, and I would hope Lulu is nominated," said RSCPA president Dr. Hugh Wirth.
This 6-year-old dog ran away about two weeks ago when the his owner, Fabian, was fixing the fences in his yard. Recently Buddy was found lying on the floor in the wating room of a hospital! After exsamination by some doctors, they stated that he had been hit by a car. Hospital officials called the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority in Downey, and agency officials picked up Buddy and brought him to the shelter for treatment of a fractured leg, Capt. Aaron Reyes, SEAACA's director of operations!! Luckily Buddy is okay-- and safe back with his owner. What a smart dog!
